CAUTION
When planning a layout for Units A and B, comply with the following:
1. The lengths after branching (“a” and “b”) should be equal if feasible.
Install Units A and B so that the difference of the branching lengths becomes less than 10m if the lengths
cannot be equal due to the branch pipe position.
2. Install Units A and B on the same level.
If Units A and B cannot be installed on the same level, the difference in level should be limited to 0.5m or less.
3. Be certain to install Units A and B in the same room.
Units A and B cannot be operated independently each other.
